Have you tried 'setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none irq 0 port 0' to take
away the port's resources from the serial driver, in the case it is
loaded into the kernel? This is necessary with the FIR (nsc-ircc)
driver and with the irport driver.

I think that

very nice introduction into the various types of IrDA drivers.
